The update came days after the Reds and Spurs played out a rollercoaster match at Anfield, rife with goals, action and, above all, controversy.

Unsurprisingly in a Premier League fixture, the refereeing was at the heart of the trouble. Jon Moss awarded Spurs two penalties in the match.

Loris Karius was adjudged to have made contact with Harry Kane, before saving his spot-kick, but Virgil van Dijk's alleged foul on Erik Lamela gave the English striker an opportunity to atone for his miss.

Kane stepped up again and fired in his 100th Premier League goal to salvage a point for Spurs at the death, just minutes after Mohamed Salah looked to have won it with a Messi-esque finish.
